Most days on Ambergris Caye end up on a boat. These are the captains Everaldo and Delma book for our guests, the ones guests rebook, and the prices they quoted in 2026. Every trip our team arranges is private to your group, and most captains will pick you up at the villa’s dock.
Guest favourites
Geronimo: snorkelling, fishing and Caye Caulker
The captain we book most often, and the one guests ask for again. He does half-day fishing and conch hunting, snorkelling at Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley, afternoons on Caye Caulker, and beach barbecues where he cooks what you caught. One family came back this summer with a big snapper and fresh conch, and Delma turned both into dinner. He runs two boats and picks up from our dock.
- Fishing & conch huntingHalf day, $375 for the boat.
- Snorkel & Caye CaulkerPrivate full day, $700 for the boat. Park fees, water, soda and fruit included.
- All-day tour$180 per person with pickup at the villa, or $150 if you meet the boat in town.

Captain Carlitos: catamaran, chef and transfers
Our team’s pick for bigger groups and full service. Carlitos runs a small boat, a larger boat and a catamaran, can bring a private chef, and picks up and drops off at the villa. When another company cancelled on a group of our guests this summer, he took them out instead and ran them back to the mainland for their flight. Tour prices are quoted per trip; a boat from the San Pedro airstrip to the villa is $150 each way for up to three people.

Jet skis
A Secret Beach company brings jet skis to the villa’s dock: $100 for 30 minutes, $190 for an hour, two riders per ski. Our team books them.
Practical notes
The villa sits on the calm west side of the island, so boats leave from flat water at our dock. The reef side gets choppy when the wind is up; on those days a full day to Caye Caulker is smoother on a bigger boat. Guides are tipped separately from the villa team. After a fishing trip, bring the catch home and Delma will cook it.
